Constraints expressed within document definitions, data models, ontologies, and domain models, are a key constituent of the Semantic Web. Indeed, Semantic Web applications will rely on these constraints when reasoning about Web contents. This paper deals with the enforcement by Web interfaces, of constraints expressed at the conceptual level. Specifically, the paper presents an approach to mark up a conceptual model in order to generate a Web form capable of enforcing the constraints captured in the model. The feasibility and practicality of this approach have been validated through the development of a system that generates XForms code from ORM conceptual schemas.
